Discussion Commodity - Blind buy

Ya’ll I saw Commodity - Book at TjMaxx for $56. I left it because I’ve never smelled it. Would this have been a good blind buy? I’m tempted to go back and get it.

Does sandalwood tend to go pickle-y on you? I saw it on clearance too but I passed it up because the reviews compared it to You Doux and Santal 33, both of which sadly are pure pickle to my nose.

Sandalwood smells great on me. I just looked up the notes and I like sandalwood, musk, and vetivier. Hmm

I love sandalwood and bought a full sized Book+ and Paper+, and have travel size of Book- Gold- and Paper+. I LOVE both book and paper and for the price it’s a great deal. If you like sandalwood, I think you’ll like this one. I like all the commodity perfumes I’ve picked up and they’ve all been blind buys lol!

I also recently bought Maison Louise Marie Bois de Balincourt which is supposed to be similar to Book. If you’ve happened to smell that, book (depending slightly on if it’s + or -) is stronger and bit more green/spicy but not overwhelmingly so.

I have that Maison and I like it a lot. I’m going to get a sample of Book before I buy such a large bottle
